BOSTON — English Premier League soccer club Liverpool will take the field at Boston’s Fenway Park this summer in a preseason friendly against Italian club AS Roma.

Liverpool, which is owned by Fenway Sports Group — owners of the Boston Red Sox — will make the appearance at the famed baseball venue on July 25 as part of the soccer club’s upcoming US tour and the ballpark’s 100-year anniversary.

“During its 100-year history, Fenway Park has hosted some of the best in athletic competition and a match between Liverpool and AS Roma — two of the world’s most well-known and respected clubs — is an appropriate way to help celebrate Fenway’s 100th anniversary and showcase our ballpark to an international audience,” said Fenway Sports Group Principal Owner John W. Henry.

Liverpool announced on its website that Boston would serve as the club’s home base during its 12-day US tour, the team’s first North American jaunt since 2004.

“We had a great time playing in front of our supporters in Asia last year and it will be good to give our fans in North America the chance to watch us live this summer,” Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish said in a statement.

The Reds will conduct their practices at Harvard University just across the Charles River from Boston in Cambridge, Mass.

Additional US stops and venues will be announced at a later date, the club said.
